Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sorter.
  • each having coupled carts each having a row of permanent magnets, the last and first permanent magnets being shorter in the direction of movement than the other permanent magnets of the row to keep a coupling area free.
  • the coupling area is created by the shortened design of the two permanent magnets, which are located at the respective end of each car.
  • a position sensor system consisting of Hall sensors receives a signal that is shortened in time as the cars move past, but no signal that breaks. So even a single Hall sensor system that counts the moving permanent magnets to detect the position of the sorter.
  • Permanent magnet is arranged.
  • standing magnetically similar magnetized permanent magnets face each other, such as North Pole and North Pole.
  • a position sensor system consisting of Hall sensors receives a signal that is shortened in time as the cars move past, but no signal that breaks.
  • Hall sensor system that counts the passing permanent magnets, the detection of the position of the sorter is not easily possible.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to make a sorter cost-effectively.
  • the sorter has arranged in series, each coupled to each other carriages, which are arranged movably along a roadway, each carriage having a permanent magnet assembly which consists of arranged in the direction of movement in series, regularly spaced permanent magnets, wherein the each next adjacent permanent magnet an opposite
  • Permanent magnet of this next adjacent carriage the same distance from each other as the other permanent magnets to their nearest adjacent permanent magnet, in particular wherein the distance a between the front in the direction of movement edges, corners or between the centers of gravity or centers of the permanent magnets is measured and / or exists.
  • each carriage chain of the sorter preferably has its end area in the direction of movement at the edge of a permanent magnet. Only the
  • Coupling device of the car protrudes beyond this Beriech out.
  • the sorter are advantageously oppositely magnetized permanent magnets on the opposing end portions of the next adjacent car
  • the last permanent magnet of a first car for example, directed to the stator winding north pole
  • a first permanent magnet of the next car for example, directed to the stator winding south pole.
  • An arranged on the roadway Hall sensor or Wiegandsensor is thus able, for example, in a simple manner, namely by detecting the direction of magnetization, to determine the number of successive permanent magnets. From this, the position of the sorter can be determined with a known number of permanent magnets of the respective carriage. If, on the other hand, rectified magnetized permanent magnets are present at the coupling area
  • all the permanent magnets have the maximum length b in the direction of movement and the distance a to their respectively adjacent permanent magnet, wherein the coupling region less than the distance (b-a) claimed, wherein edges and / or corners of the first and last permanent magnet are rounded.
  • the rounding of the transversely to the rail direction and transverse to the pivot direction aligned edges of the respective first and last permanent magnets of a respective car allows driving through even narrower curves.
  • Each curve of the roadway is assigned a maximum swivel angle. If all, the next car facing edges of the first and last permanent magnet of each car are rounded even a lane is traversable, the
  • the permanent magnets are cuboid.
  • the advantage here is that the permanent magnets are inexpensive to produce.
  • all the permanent magnets differ only in the direction of magnetization, in particular therefore have the same geometric dimensions.
  • the advantage here is that in turn cost-effective production because of the higher number of equal parts can be achieved.
  • a magnetization direction is aligned perpendicular to the direction of movement.
  • the advantage here is that the magnetization direction in the direction or opposite to the roadway or the stator can be aligned.
  • the cars are rail-guided along the roadway. The advantage here is that a simple determination of the position is executable.
  • the permanent magnet assembly is modular, ie composed of modules, wherein a respective module has a respective base plate on which a module associated number of permanent magnets is attached, in particular wherein different modules differ in number, in particular wherein the base plate is arranged on the side of the carriage associated with the roadway.
  • Demand is thus composed of a modular system of a cart and / or sorter desired length composable.
  • the nearest adjacent permanent magnets are opposed by permanent magnets of opposite magnetization direction.
  • the permanent magnet arrangement is effective as a reactive part of a linear synchronous motor, in particular so along the roadway stator windings of the linear synchronous motor are arranged, from the magnetic fields in interaction with the permanent magnets traction for the car and / or the sorter can be generated.
  • a dynamic drive principle for the sorter can be selected. Thus, a quick positioning, so approaching a desired position of the sorter, executable. Position is also understood to mean the distance traveled by the wagon since commissioning.
  • the modules of each car are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement and on a fastening means of the respective car connected.
  • the car has a fastening means for receiving the modules, so that the modules are connected in a simple manner and can be connected to the car.
  • a fastener for example, the linkage of the respective car is used.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sorter 1 with carriages 2 arranged one behind the other and coupled to one another.
  • the carriages 2 of the sorter 1 form a closed chain of carriages 2, which are movably arranged on a carriageway.
  • each car 2 is equipped with wheels that are movable on rails of the road.
  • the rail-mounted design but also non-rail-guided applications are executable.
  • the roadway has stator windings for generating a magnetic field, which interacts with permanent magnets, which are preferably arranged on the underside of the carriage 2.
  • permanent magnets which are preferably arranged on the underside of the carriage 2.
  • the permanent magnets 20 on the underside of each carriage 2 are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement and in each case regularly spaced from each other.
  • the distance between the front edge in the direction of movement of two adjacent permanent magnets is therefore a distance a.
  • the respective length in the direction of movement of a permanent magnet is b, where b is preferably smaller than a, so that the permanent magnets 20 do not touch each other directly.
  • spaced permanent magnet arrangement of a carriage 2 adjacent thereto next carriage 2 only has the same regular distance when the two cars are each aligned in line with each other.
  • the distance between the front edge of the movement direction last permanent magnet 20 of a carriage 2 for the front edge in the direction of movement of the first permanent magnet 20 of the next adjacent carriage 2 is then so a.
  • the entire permanent magnet arrangement of all permanent magnets of the sorter thus has no gap in each case in the coupling region of the car.
  • the maximum usable range for the coupling region when passing through radii is specified by the difference b-a, since the permanent magnets in the on
  • Coupling region adjacent area are not made shorter but all the permanent magnets have the same length.
  • edges of the two facing each other at the coupling region of the two adjacent car magnets 20 driving through very tight curves can be performed.
  • those edges of the cuboid permanent magnets are rounded, which extend transversely to the rail direction and
  • the curve plane is the plane which contains the tilt angle. In this case, only the edges must be rounded, which are facing the adjacent car.
  • all the permanent magnets used are geometrically the same, wherein the first and last permanent magnets of each carriage has rounded edges at its end facing the respectively adjacent carriage.
  • Corresponding corners are also rounded off.
  • the rounding off can be carried out as a processing step preceding or following the magnetization of the magnetic material. In the camp so the geometrically similar permanent magnets are stored, which only for the front and rear permanent magnets of a particular car transverse to the pivot plane and transverse to the rail direction aligned outer edges must be rounded.
